SECTION 3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: A white or tan sand, or ground sand. It is not flammable, combustible or explosive. Do not breathe

this material. Crystalline silica (quartz) is not known to be an environmental hazard. Crystalline silica (quartz) is incompatible with hydrofluoric acid, fluorine, chlorine trifluoride or oxygen difluoride.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTSEYE Contact can cause moderate to severe irritation of eyes, including discomfort or pain, local redness and

swelling of the conjuctiva. SKIN Contact can cause dryness or moderate irritation of skin. INGESTION None known. INHALATION If inhaled as dust, this product can cause irritation of the respiratory system resulting in coughing and/or

sneezing. Higher exposures may cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs with severe shortness of breath. Inhalation of silica can also cause a chronic irreversible lung disorder, silicosis. Some medical reports state inhalation of silica dust for prolonged periods may cause lung cancer.

Per ACGIH, adverse effects are not likely to occur in the workplace provided exposure levels do not exceed the appropriate TLVs/PELs. See Section 8. However, because of the wide variation in individual susceptibility, lower exposure limits may be appropriate for some individuals including persons with pre-existing medical conditions.

CHRONIC EFFECTS / CARCINOGENICITY: Silicosis, cancer, scleroderma, tuberculosis, nephrotoxicity and arthritis are potential chronic effects. See Section 11 for further information regarding these conditions

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: There are generally no signs or symptoms of exposure to crystalline silica (quartz). Often, chronic silicosis has no symptoms. The symptoms of chronic silicosis, if present, are shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and sputum production. The symptoms of acute silicosis are the same; additionally, weight loss and fever are associated with acute silicosis. The symptoms of scleroderma include thickening and stiffness of the skin, particularly in the fingers, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and joint problems.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: The condition of individuals with lung disease (e.g., bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) can be aggravated by exposure. See Section 11 for additional detail on potential adverse health effects.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: None known.

SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES EYE Quickly and gently blot or brush away sand. Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently

flowing water for at least 15 minutes or until the sand is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Occasionally lift eyelid(s) to ensure thorough rinsing. Beyond flushing, do not attempt to remove material from eye(s). Do not rub eyes. Seek medical attention immediately.

SKIN Wash with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. INGESTION Never give anything by mouth if the victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing.

Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. If irritation or discomfort occurs, obtain medical advice immediately.

INHALATION Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if necessary. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES VLT HIGCA LEP AHSO Crystalline silica (respirable) 10 mg/m3 ÷ (% silica in the dust plus 2) 0.025 mg/m3

Crystalline silica exists in several forms, the most common of which is quartz. If crystalline silica (quartz) is heated to morethan 870°C it can change to a form of crystalline silica known as trydimite, and if crystalline silica (quartz) is heated to morethan 1470°C, it can change to a form of crystalline silica known as cristobalite. Crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobaliteare more fibrogenic than crystalline silica as quartz. The OSHA PEL for crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobalite is one-half the PEL for crystalline silica (quartz); the ACGIH TLV for crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobalite is one-half theTLV for crystalline silica as quartz.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION No LD50 or LC50 have been identified for this product.

SILICOSIS The major concern is silicosis, caused by the inhalation and retention of respirable crystalline silica dust. Silicosis can exist in several forms, chronic (or ordinary), accelerated, or acute.

Chronic or Ordinary Silicosis is the most common form of silicosis, and can occur after many years of exposure to relatively low levels of airborne respirable crystalline silica dust. It is further defined as either simple or complicated silicosis.

Simple silicosis is characterized by lung lesions (shown as radiographic opacities) less than 1 centimeter in diameter, primarily in the upper lung zones. Often, simple silicosis is not associated with symptoms, detectable changes in lung function or disability. Simple silicosis may be progressive and may develop into complicated silicosis or progressive massive fibrosis (PMF).

Complicated silicosis or PMF is characterized by lung lesions (shown as radiographic opacities) greater than 1 centimeter in diameter. Although there may be no symptoms associated with complicated silicosis or PMF, the symptoms, if present, are shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and sputum production. Complicated silicosis or PMF may be associated with decreased lung function and may be disabling. Advanced complicated silicosis or PMF may lead to death. Advanced complicated silicosis or PMF can result in heart disease secondary to the lung disease (cor pumonale).

Accelerated Silicosis can occur with exposure to high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica over a relatively short period; the lung lesions can appear within five (5) years of the initial exposure. The progression can be rapid. Accelerated silicosis is similar to chronic or ordinary silicosis, except that the lung lesions appear earlier and the progression is more rapid.

Acute Silicosis can occur with exposures to very high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica over a very short time period, sometimes as short as a few months. The symptoms of acute silicosis include progressive shortness of breath, fever, cough and weight loss. Acute silicosis is fatal.

CANCERIARC - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (“IARC”) concluded that there was “sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica in the forms of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources”, and that there is “sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of quartz and cristobalite.” The overall IARC evaluation was that “crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans

Page 6 of 7

Product Name: SAND (continued)

(Group 1).” The IARC evaluation noted that “carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances studies. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs.” For further information on the IARC evaluation, see IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68, “Silica, Some Silicates...” (1997). (Emphasis added)

NTP - The National Toxicology Program, in its Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens, concluded that “silica, crystalline (respirable)” may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence in experimental animals and limited evidence in humans.

OSHA - Crystalline silica (quartz) is not regulated by the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration as a carcinogen.

There is substantial literature on the issues of the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica, which the reader should consult foradditional information. A summary of the literature is set forth in “Exposure to crystalline silica and risk of lung cancer; theepidemiological evidence”, Thorax, Volume 51, pp. 97-102 (1996). The official statement of the American Thoracic Society on the issue of silica carcinogenicity was published in “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997). The official statement concluded that “The available data support the conclusion that silicosis produces increased risk for bronchogenic carcinoma. The cancer risk may also be increased by smoking and other carcinogens in the workplace. Epidemiologic studies provide convincing evidence for increased cancer risk among tobacco smokers with silicosis. Less information is available for never-smokers and for workers exposed to silica but who do not have silicosis. For workers with silicosis, the risks for lung cancer are relatively high and consistent among various countries and investigators. Silicosis should be considered a condition that predisposes workers to anincreased risk of lung cancer.” Id. at 763.

SCLERODERMA There is evidence that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease silicosis is associated with the increasedincidence of scleroderma, an immune system disorder manifested by a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs, skin and other internal organs. Recently, the American Thoracic Society noted that “there is persuasive evidence relating scleroderma to occupational silica exposures in setting where there is appreciable silicosis risk.” The following may be consulted for additional informationon silica, silicosis and scleroderma (also known as progressive systemic sclerosis): Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and Related Diseases”, Parkes, W. Raymond (1994). “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997).

TUBERCULOSISIndividuals with silicosis are at increased risk to develop tuberculosis, if exposed to persons with tuberculosis. The followingmay be consulted for further information: Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and Related Diseases”, Parkes, W. Raymond (1994). “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997).

NEPHROTOXICITYThere are several recent studies suggesting that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease silicosis is associated with the increased incidence of kidney disorders. The following may be consulted for additional information on silica, silicosisand nephrotoxicity: Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and Related Diseases”, Parkes, W.

5. Fire-fighting measures

General fire hazards

Polymer can burn if exposed to a fire. Acetaldehyde vapors form explosive mixtures in air and can spontaneously ignite at temperatures above 347F (175C). Industrial handling of polymer pellets or chips has the potential to generate dust. Polymer dust can accumulate over time on buildings and equipment. After a significant amount of dust accumulation and disturbance, dust may form explosive mixture in air. Ensure that good housekeeping practices are followed. Hazardous combustion products

Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire. Upon decomposition, this product emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Molten polymer or prolonged air drying of polymer at temperatures above 195 °C will release small quantities of acetaldehyde (CAS# 75-07-0). Suitable extinguishing media

Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Protection of fire-fighters

Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Specific methods

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions
